Another day has begin as student walking around the school hallway heading toward their own destination, among the student there is a boy with emerald green eyes walking happily toward his classroom, he slightly jump and greet everyone who pass by him.
Where's the other you might wonder?, well they already in their own destination due to the bell that will ring in a few minutes from now. Thorn's eyes spark with delight upon seeing a girl not far from him, his best friend for over 4 years now, flora.
"Goodmorning flora!" He said excitedly with a wide smile and big sparkly round eyes, she turn around and face thorn who seem energetic and full with joy upon seeing her but he didn't notice the annoyed expresion the girl have before it quickly change into her usual calm and friendly smile.
"Ello to you too thorn" she said while waving her hand at him, thorn excitedly start to tell her about his activity yesterday when he was at home while pulling flora's hand heading toward their class, she seem bothered by his chatter when her face show nothing but annoyance.
"And that's what happen!" Thorn end his story when they arrive in their classroom, flora happily clapping her hand and smile warmly at him.
"That's amazing thorn" she said softly which make thorn giggle before he starting to look for his book in his bag while humming random lullaby.
"So flora, are you coming to my house today?" Thorn ask suddenly while looking at her, she seem confuse while also tilting her head trying to think of any reason why she need to go there.
"Sorry but why i am coming to your house again?" She ask as she didn't remember anything she need to do there with thorn blink a few time before he smile and continue trying to find something in his bag.
"To finish our school project!" He said while pulling out an assignment paper from the teacher they got a few days ago, she nod her head upon seeing it.
"Will your brothers be there?" Flora's question elicited feelings of confusion from Thorn, what is the connection between his brother and the project that they need to do?
"Em... I think they will be home?" Thorn said while trying to think about his brothers' schedules and found that none of them will be out today.
"Okay i will go" flora without hesitation answer which make thorn tilt his head, what's up with her?. Before he can ask her about it the bell rang loudly signaling that class is about to start soon.

It s now 3 in the afternoon, thorn is sitting on the sofa in the living room waiting for flora to arrive so they can work on their project, he has provided everything they needed for the project in the form of books, writing equipment and a laptop on the table. He waited patiently while munching a freshly baked cookies made by his second oldest brother, taufan.
"What are you doing here thorn?" His emerald green eyes gaze to his left where solar is standing with his science book on his hand.
"Wailing or omeone" he said while still munching his cookies, it took a few moment for solar to process his word before figure out what he said.
"Oh, alright then, i will be in my room" he said while walking away heading toward the stairs, thorn slightly watching solar heading upstairs before he start to munch his cookies again. Soon after a knock can be heard with thorn quickly finishing his cookies before opening the door.
Upon opening the door he can see flora waving happily at him, thorn was about to wave back before he realized that the clothes that she was wearing is considered immodest, how come? Well she is currently wearing a tight crop top with a short mini skirt.
He akwardly invited her in while trying his best to not look like he's judging her right now, well he is but he trying not to be rude.
After sitting down on the sofa, flora seem to look around his house looking for something, Thorn silently questioned what she was trying to do knowing the fact that all of his brothers hated that type of clothing.
"Where's your brothers?" She ask with a hint of dissapointment which thorn find it unusual.
"Em... Abang blaze, Abang ice, and solar is in their room, Abang gem in the kitchen, Abang ufan in the garden while Abang hali are getting groceries right now" he said while opening a book on the table, trying to find anything usefull for their project.
"Oh alright then" she said while also opening a book and helping thorn looking for any material, they spend for about a hour and a half before the front door open revealing the oldest who just got back with 3 bags full with groceries.
"Welcome home Abang!" Thorn greet him warmly with halilintar nodding his head and smile slightly at him, his smile drop when he notice a girl who keep staring at him with a slight blush on her cheek, his eyes sharpened when he realized the clothes she was wearing that looked more like she was working at a strip club. He would be more than happy to throw her out but he also realize that she is thorn best friend as much as he hate the idea.
"Your ice cream will be in the fridge" halilintar said before quickly leaving the living room, he can't stand that girl despite she is thorn bestfriend for 4 years now, his instincts always told him to get his brother away from that girl, but he also realized that thorn had the right to be friends with anyone, he could only warn him and protect him from anything that could potentially hurt him from afar.
"Thank you abang!" Thorn said with sparkly eyes with halilintar nodding his head once again, not long after gempa arrive with 2 glasses of juice and a few snack.
"You guys must be thirsty, here you go" gempa said while putting the drink on the table before giving thorn a head pat which made him giggle.
"Hehe, thank you abang gemgem!"
"Anytime" gempa attention switch to flora who seem... Not happy with his presence, He furrowed his brows when he caught the disgusted look in the girl's eyes.
"What are you looking at?" She rudely ask which caught both gempa and thorn in suprise.
"Sorry?" Quake confusedly answered before Flora let out a displeased sigh, which also caught halilintar attention who could see everything from the kitchen.
"Stop staring at me you creep!" She yell loudly which made them shock even more, while halilintar slowly getting angry due to flora's behavior toward one of his brothers.
"Okay... I am sorry? " Gempa akwardly apologize despite not knowing what he did wrong.
"Don't apologize gem, and you... Who do you think you are?" Halilintar step in with a intimidating aura around him, he not going to let anyone treat his brother like that.
"Is okay abang,calm down" gempa try to cool his brother anger down before he explode, with thorn eyes widen in horror upon seeing what happening infront of him.
The tension broke down when flora laugh while covering her face with her hand.
"I am just joking, geez you took things way to seriously" she said while still giggle slightly, the rest of them seem unhappy with both halilintar and gempa leaving the room without saying a word.
"What are you doing?" Thorn open his mouth when it's just the two of them in the room.
"I am just playing around,your brother took it way to seriously" she said while continue writing their report for the project, thorn stay silent before continue writing his part of the job.
.

.
.
A month have passed since that day, both halilintar and gempa seem to avoid flora for obvious reason, the rest of the siblings are pretty much neutral and only occasionally chatted with her.
Thorn walk around the hall feeling bored and lonely, why? Well since that day the other been very busy, halilintar and Taufan with their part time job and school, gempa as the leader of student council, blaze training for a incoming basketball contest, ice with his taekwondo lesson and solar who is the school representative for the national level mathematics competition.
He know that all his brother are busy but but he couldn't get rid of the feeling of loneliness in his heart due to neither of them have time to play with him anymore.
He circle the school just to relieve his boredoom when his eyes caught sight of flora who seem having fun gossiping about something, he was about to approach her but stop when he heard what she said.
"What an idiot right?" She said while rolling her eyes lazily with her friends laughing slightly.
"So did he found out?" Her friend ask, clearly talking about thorn who happened to be standing near them without realizing it, flora smile widely with a slight giggle excaping from her lips.
"him? ha! he is too stupid and naive to realize that I was just taking advantage of him" she said proudly with a hint of a pride, thorn stood still while listening to every insult she said about him.
"Oh i pity him, turn out his bestfriend back stabbing him from behind" she said while pretending to feel bad about him when in reality they enjoy his suffering.
Thorn who felt he knew enough, left the two of them with tears ready to fall, it hurts... It hurt so much...
Lucky for him that it's already the last period of class and they'll be home soon in just a few minutes, he run past blaze who happened to be looking for him.
Blaze who saw his teary eyes immedietly grow worried and chase after thorn who won't stop running away from him.
"Thorn?!" He call out for him but thorn seem want to be alone when he dissapeard in the crowd, leaving blaze puzzle by what he saw, he need to tell the others....
.
.
.
.
.
Thorn locking himself in his shared room with solar, he sit silently while processing the word that flora said, he buried his face between his legs even more as tears began to fall, he can't believe it... He just can't believe it...
The sound of a knock on the door startled him, wouldn't all his siblings be home late? Who knocking the door right now?
"Thorn? Is us..." the calm voice of one of his brothers brought him out of his reverie, he wipe away his tears before he walk toward the door and open it, revealing 3 of his brothers.
"Hello! You guys come home early!" He said happily, trying to mask his sadness with his usually cherry smile. A hand gently brush his cheek which belong to blaze's
"Are you okay thornie?" He said with worried while the rest of them already went inside thorn's and solar's room and sit on the floor near solar's desk.
"I am good, what do you mean?" Thorn calmly answered while showing an innocent smile and big round curious eyes which usually work on anyone, anyone but his brothers.
"Don't lie to us, we know you aren't" ice voice rang out with blaze gently leading thorn toward the others, they all worried about him especially when blaze told them that thorn cried at school today.
"I am fine! Really!" Thorn kept trying to assured them that he was fine, but his defensive wall didn't last long when Solar suddenly pulled him into a warm embrace, managed to destroy the calm appearance he was trying to maintain.
"Let it out thorn... Let it all out..." Solar whisper quietly to his ears with thorn start to break down crying, his tears once again fall down his cheek as solar tighten the embrance.
Blaze and ice look at them with a look of sadness and relief, sad that they see their brother crying loudly infront of them and relief that they manage to comfort him as soon as they found out.
After a while, his crying subsided and only a small sob remained, his hug on Solar still hadn't loosened which Solar didn't mind, maybe if is on a normal day he would have pushed thorn away because of his prestige.
"Do you want to tell us what's bothering you?" Blaze represents the questions they all want to ask, thorn look at them before he hide his face behind solar shoulder and recounts the events that made him like this.
They all held back their anger after hearing everything thorn said, they would love to teach her a lesson but for now they need to comfort thorn who is heartbroken after finding out her true color.
"Ignore that girl, she's not worth your time thorn" solar without hesitation said it with a slight angry tone, thorn shake his head while wiping his tears.
"But... She... She is my best friend for 4 years..." Thorn lower his head with ice holding his hand which earn thorn attention.
"Friend don't take advantage and use them like that, she's not worth it" ice calmly said with a comforting smile, blaze nodded his head in agreement with his twin's every word.
"You don't need her thorn, you have us..." Blaze sit beside him while patting thorn head lovingly, he rarely show this side which made Thorn look at him with teary eyes.
Thorn look away while hiding his face once again, he know that he have his brothers by his side but at the same time he know that they will be busy with their own thing and will leave him alone once again.
"I know... but you all will definitely be busy with your own things... I just can't help but feel... Lonely..." He mumble quietly but loud enough for all three of them to heard, they look at each other before they smile softly, they understand that thorn will feel lonely due to them that are constantly busy and leaving him alone for a while, they all make a mental note to make some time for some family bonding.
Solar held thorn's shoulder with a sad smile displaying on his face.
"Everyone is lonely sometimes..." He said while remembering that he also feel lonely from time to time but It didn't last long because of his brothers.
"I would walk a thousand miles to see your eyes" blaze holded thorn's face gently while looking at him softly, he would do anything for his brothers, even if his life is on the line.
"You are not alone we are family" ice sit beside blaze and close his eyes, he can't imagine what would happen if he didn't have them by his side, he didn't want to lose them like what had happened in the past.
Hold me, let's escape all this reality~
Thorn looked at them while holding back the tears that wanted to fall, he was moved by his brother's words and pulled them into a hug with all of them happily returned the hug, even Solar and Ice that rarely showed this side of them.
"You are my symphony" a new voice enter their hearing as all of them look at the door, revealing the three oldest standing there with a smile even halilintar, Taufan who voice out his word earlier smiled amusedly at their shocked faces.
"By your side, we are unity" Taufan continue as he walking toward them and join the hug.
"You are my energy" gempa slowly approach them and look at all of them, true to his word, they are the reason he had been strong all this time.
"My guiding light" halilintar look at them all and also approach them, his attention switch to thorn and wipe away his tears who already fall down from his eyes.
"We are unity" all three of them said at the same time, with thorn started to cry again but this time he know that he is not alone, not when he have his brothers by his side.
Bonus
"So i just got this new dress that just come up at the mall!" Flora giggle happily with her friend who cheers loudly at her, they all gossiping excitedly when someone pull flora from the group and push her to a wall.
"Hey what gives?!" She yell loudly but soon notice a pair of sharp ruby eyes staring at her seriously, her eyes widen in suprise with a blush slowly forming on her cheek.
"O-oh hello?" She stuttered to greet halilintar who was still looking at her seriously, Flora started to have wild imagination as she thought that she is in one of those romantic scene that usually happened in novels, that until halilintar land a strong punch just beside her head, forming a huge hole on the wall.
"You..." His voice sound deep and low, full of anger with black intimidating aura that the girl was unaware of, the rest of the class stare at them with fear as they also felt the aura that halilintar had.
"How...Dare...you!" Halilintar said full with pressure, he won't let anyone off the hook if it's involving his brothers.
"Abang! Stop!" Before halilintar can give her a lesson, thorn enter the classroom hurridly and immedietly rushing toward him.
"I am fine! Don't hurt her!" Thorn said with pleading eyes, Whisper immediately filled the room with halilintar that struggling to not to kill the girl in front of him.
"Fine, but don't think that you can get away with it, i am warning you... Stay the fuck away from my brothers" he said while walking away from them and heading toward his own classroom, thorn gaze slightly before his attention switch back to flora.
"What was that?!" She demand at thorn while trying to complain to him only for thorn to back away from her.
"What's wrong?" She ask upon seeing thorn behavior toward her, no usual round eyes and no smile displaying on his face.
"Our friendship are over flora" he said coldly at her which caught her by suprise.
"What? What did i do?!" She said while acting like she was heartbroken by his word, thorn roll his eyes for once before he look at her emotionlessly.
"You know what you did backstabber" thorn walk away from her and sit on his desk, shocking flora even more.
Thorn decided to move to another class, any class but not with her, the teachers didn't seem to agree, but after some persuasion and help from his older brothers, they finally agreed with one condition which thorn accept it immedietly.
He didn't mind taking care of the school garden, is his favorite thing to do after all.
